The invention relates to the technical field of gas detectors, in particular to a microneedle array type
gas detector. The microneedle array type
gas detector comprises: a
cathode plate, one side of which is provided with a boss in the central area and is used as a
cathode; the
anode plate and the
cathode plate are arranged at an interval, and a plurality of microneedles are inserted into one side, facing the cathode plate, of the
anode plate and are used as positive electrodes; the boss is loaded with a first
negative bias voltage, and the micro-needle is kept at a zero potential, so that a drift
electric field is formed between the boss and the micro-needle. According to the
gas detector, the microneedle with the large curvature
radius is adopted as the positive
electrode, so that the intensity of an
electric field near the needle tip is rapidly weakened along with the increase of the distance, the gas
detector can stably operate under high
gain, the
counting rate performance of the gas
detector can be improved, and the gas
detector can be flexibly matched with
electronics to expand the
dynamic range of the gas detector.
